Many of Oak Park's Prairie-era and Victorian houses put the kitchen at the back behind a narrow rear porch and pantry door, and an installation there measures that back route, which is often easier than carrying a unit through the front rooms, and checks how far the old gas stub reaches. ## What Oak Park does to an appliance. Oak Park was first settled in 1835 and incorporated as its own village in 1902, when it separated from Cicero. The village's original post office could not use the name "Oak Ridge" because another Illinois post office already had it, so the settlement took the name Oak Park instead, which stuck as the town grew. When Oak Park incorporated in 1902, the village barred the sale of alcohol within its limits, a dry-town rule tied to its earliest years as an independent municipality.
